I agree that the Camaro chassis is stiffer and yes the Camaro is lighter than the Mustang, especially the S650. But my personal opinion is that if something is superior it needs to produce a better result. Yes even I can tell that the Camaro is slightly stiffer just by comparing how the two...

I'm not sure why people continue to say this. What exactly is superior about the Alpha chassis? Is a chassis really superior if it costs more to manufacture and doesn't produce better lap times? If you compare a S550/650 to a GM Alpha chassis product - if they make similar power and have...

That's what caused the car to slide sideways like that. He should have just let off the throttle gently and steered into the skid. But instead he waited too long to get off the throttle and then jammed on the brakes.

I would go with a system of matched springs and shocks that meet your goals. If you just want to buy shocks to match your current springs, call a few different manufacturers and talk to the experts, then decide. Most of us on the forums have only tried a few combinations. I love the FP track...

That's a lot of RPM! What do you expect for component longevity from the build?

Weight and complexity. I like larger cubic inch naturally aspirated engines rather than power adders on a smaller engine. For example, the Mercury racing SB4 is really awesome. I'd love to have one of those in something with a manual transaxle. It weighs about 500 lbs compared to the...

I like the GM controls, but I'm comparing a 2021 with the best option to a base 2017 and tech is advancing quickly. I mostly just turn active exhaust to stealth or sport and back, so I don't use a lot of controls all the time. The audio controls are great on the GM product in my opinion. I'm...

Sorry for the book, but I have a lot of time driving both. So here you go. I'd say it's a mixed bag on interior for me. I'm 6'4" and almost 200 lbs. I think the Mustang is nice in how the seats recline and have adjustable lumbar. Both my Mustang and Camaro have base cloth seats. The...

Yes the visibility isn't that great. I still have to be really careful when I try to change lanes. I don't think the Alpha chassis is better than the Mustang chassis, either - so I don't see the "magic chassis" as a reason to buy one. I think the two cars are roughly comparable - the Camaro...

https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/12/c7-corvette-z06-gets-extended-warranty-coverage-over-on-track-heating-issues/ I hear there are fixes now for the overheating issues. But that would keep me away. Well, plus I just don't fit in a Corvette with a helmet on. Ugggh, and the removable top on a...

They are at -2. It's what Ford recommends for some sporty applications. I realize for heavier track use you can get more out of a more aggressive camber. If I get to the track twice a year I'm doing well. What would you recommend?

I really love the Mach 1 HP wheels. Yes, there are lighter options, etc. I'm not racing for money and I like the appearance of these more than any other wheel I've seen on a Mustang. My opinion is you can't go wrong with them, especially on a Mach 1.

I purchased my transmission and rear differential cooling radiators from Derale and I talked to a technical expert there a couple times. No wait, got right on with him. It was really nice.

I'm sure owning one you know all the details better than I. 429 SCJ has the reputation of being a great engine. As do the 428 PI and Boss 429. I know some lists said that different cars were faster. The list I remember said the Boss 351 cut a 13.2 - 13.5 second quarter mile, which seems...

Wholeheartedly - whoever did the work didn't have a subtle bone in their body.
